This award-winning, Next Gen car has style, comfort, safety and fresh packaging of a sedan
After storming into market in 2006, Hyundai Verna outperformed all the sedan models and continue to dominate the Indian roads. In August 2017, Hyundai Motor India (HMIL) launched the Next Gen Verna. An instant hit, Verna recently received the Indian Car Of The Year 2018 (ICOTY) award for its convincing, fresh packaging of a sedan. The new Verna’s retuned engine, new transmissions, the much-improved ride and handling dynamics, and the European design language, have made it more appealing. To find out how the new Verna is manufactured, Auto Components India visited HMIL’s plant in Sriperumbudur near Chennai and followed its journey to perfection – from the press shop to the dispatch point.
The Verna arrived in 2006 replacing Accent, a few months after HMIL had rolled out the 10,00,000th car in India. With it came an interesting new design language that clearly set it apart from the competition. Instead of straight lines, bold curves with larger headlamps and tail lamps accentuated the design philosophy. It was powered by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder CRDi turbo-diesel engine and a more powerful petrol engine. Five years later, the second-generation Fluidic Verna was introduced, and it set the benchmark for design and interior quality. It packed updated 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol and diesel engines and brought in new transmission options. For a dynamic appeal, the Next Gen Verna boasts of sporty styling, with a mix of smooth curves and sharp creases, giving it a contemporary stance.
Adapting to the constantly evolving Indian car market, dynamics is very important. Customers here want stylish and contemporary design, comfortable and well-equipped interior, high level of safety and driving efficiency, all packaged into one with an attractive price tag. Hyundai accomplished this rare feat with the Next Gen Verna.
